This mod creates a bridge between a Matrix channel and the in-game chat. The code is shamelessly based on the irc mod and examples from lua-matrix.
This branch (master
) needs a Matrix user that listens for messages and sends to Minetest. Chat messages posted in-game
will be sent with the bot to the Matrix channel like so:
@minetestbot: <myuser> hello world
For a bridge where virtual users are created in Matrix, checkout the appservice branch!
This is a work in progress Until we have a stable release, expect breaking changes and whatnot.

Ubuntu
Tested on 16.04.
apt-get install lua5.1 luarocks lua-sec

You might need to prepend sudo
to first and second commands.
For the moment you need to add matrix_chat
to secure.trusted_mods
for lua-matrix to work. This will hopefully change.
secure.trusted_mods = matrix_chat

Lacks crucial informations
Thank for this useful mod, i hope i will succeed its installation. Here is some feedback :
I'm not sure if it's the right step as i just checked irc mod to understand where i should type the mentionned settings.
Anyway, i updated the readme.md file and the file example : settingtype.txt.
In the irc mod they wrote :
So for installing the mod, you should write those line in minetest.conf and fill the required field :
And i haven't succeed to connect the chat with matrix. I guess the problem is that i lack knowledge to solve this issue. So i don't know if i missed a dependencies or if i should rewrite the path.
no file './net/url.lua'
Best regard, Gobtous
Works as expected
Works fine, but by default sync flooding to log (xpcall issue), I just remove line at https://github.com/diggers-mt/matrix_chat/blob/master/init.lua#L115
Also messages not visible itself from matrix to game in log, but is not issue, just note.
